内容説明
From the international star of Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and, now, Celtic Tiger, comes a no-holds-barred autobiography that reveals the person, the passion and the drama behind Michael Flatley's astonishing career. Michael describes growing up as the son of Irish immigrants in a tough Chicago neighbourhood and the many years he struggled to make real his dream of becoming a professional Irish dancer. He was in his mid-thirties when he was asked to create Riverdance for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, bursting onto our television screens with a dazzling dance sequence. Just as his dreams were being realised, Michael was shattered when he and Riverdance parted company. Now Michael explains whas really happened backstage and describes how he went on to create the enormously successful Lord of the Dance.
Michael also deals openly with the controversies that have surrounded his success, such as the 2003 rape charge, his turbulent love life and the illness and injuries that have threatened his career. Filled with commentary from family, friends and colleagues and brimming with Michael's Irish charm and good humour, this book is the very personal story of a man who has lived life to the fullest according to his own credo: nothing is impossible.

内容説明
Michael Flatley is a phenomenon: a champion boxer, flautist, Irish dancer, multi-millionaire businessman and one of the highest paid performers in the world. In his honest and powerful autobiography he describes growing up as the son of Irish immigrants in a tough Chicago neighbourhood and the many years he struggled to make real his dream of becoming a professional Irish dancer. He was in his mid-thirties when he was asked to create 'Riverdance' for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, bursting onto our television screens with a dazzling dance sequence. It seemed he'd found success only to lose it again as he left the subsequent show following legal wrangles. Staying true to his vision he was determined not to give up and went on to create the massively successful Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames shows, selling out tours and breaking records around the world. His new show Celtic Tiger is already a sell-out success in North America.
His life has seen many ups and downs - the break up of his marriage, stormy relationships, a false accusation of rape, a brush with cancer - but through it all his determination and self-belief have carried him forward to yet more remarkable acheivements.
